This pick = anything by Morrissey

I played “Glamorous Glue” for a class today, and now I am in a Morrissey hole, which is a very good thing for me. Morrissey was the lead singer for The Smiths and has had a long solo career.

Part of the song goes like this:

I used to dream, and I used to vow
I wouldn’t dream of it now
We look to Los Angeles
For the language we use
London is dead, London is dead
London is dead, London is dead
London is dead, London is dead
Now I’m too much in love
I’m too much in love

A great soft ear way into Morrissey is “Every day is like Sunday.” This is an oft-covered song that you may well have heard before. A good place to check Morrissey out is “The Best of Morrissey” over at iTunes. One of my favorite Morrissey songs, “Hairdresser on Fire” is here, as well as “Glamorous Glue,” “November Spawned a Monster,” and many other cool songs. Happy listening.
